The points (-5, 2) and (6, 2) are plotted on a four-quadrant grid. Enter the distance between them in units.

Explication

Both points sit at the same height, so the gap between them runs along the x-axis direction alone, counting five units from the left-hand point across to the y-axis and six more beyond it. Subtracting the sizes of the two x-coordinates would treat the points as though they sat on the same side of that axis.
